Four Rules of Linked Data

"Linked Data Principles"

  1. Use URIs as names for things
     

  2. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names
     

  3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards (RDF*, SPARQL)
     

  4. Include links to other URIs so that they can discover more things
     

Use Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)s as names for things

Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names

When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards (RDF*, SPARQL)

Include links to other URIs, so that they can discover more things

Semantic WebandGoogle's Knowledge Graph

By Ken Fujiuchi

Semantic WebandGoogle's Knowledge Graph

The "semantic web" was first described in 2001 as the next evolutionary step for the World Wide Web. The basic idea of the semantic web is to organize the web data so that search algorithms can not only match keyword strings, but also to find relationships to the data to further understand the intent of the user's search. It is a very simple idea, but we are just starting to see the applications through smart assistants, mobile applications, and Google's Knowledge Graph. This presentation will take a look at the current trends and applications of the semantic web, and to see how this applies to the library and librarian profession.
